Ugh. Prepare to be sickened beyond all belief.
Simon Cowell has only driven his $1.7 million supercar twice in three years. The music mogul splashed out on a Bugatti Veyron in 2010 after falling in love with the vehicle when he spotted it in a showroom in Beverly Hills, California, but he only decided to part with his money after phoning a friend to check if he was making the right decision.
Speaking on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show', this week, he said: 'It was beckoning me to buy it. Seriously. The following day I walked in and bought it.'
While he has only taken the speedy motor out on two occasions, Simon - who is expecting his first child with US socialite Lauren Silverman in February - joked he once sped down Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles at 250 miles per hour.
He quipped 'I hit 250 on Sunset.' He then added: ''I'm lying. Police if you're watching...'
Earlier in the episode, Ellen gave Simon a mini-Bugatti as a present for his unborn son, and the 'X Factor' boss was delighted with the gift.
He said: 'Oh my god. I love it.'
Ellen joked: 'And he'll probably drive it twice in three years, also.'
